Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871). CCEL expanded electronic edition states it is in the public domain.
Luke Chapter 5 1 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
Luke Chapter 5 3 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
3. taught . . . out of the ship--(See on
Mt 13:2).
Luke Chapter 5 4 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
4. for a draught--munificent recompense for the use of his boat.
Luke Chapter 5 5 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
5. Master--betokening not surely a first acquaintance, but a relationship already formed.
all night--the usual time of fishing then
(Joh 21:3),
and even now Peter, as a fisherman, knew how hopeless it was to "let down his net" again, save as a mere act of faith, "at His word" of command, which carried in it, as it ever does, assurance of success. (This shows he must have been already and for some time a follower of Christ.)
Luke Chapter 5 6 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
6. net brake--rather "was breaking," or "beginning to break," as in
Lu 5:7,
"beginning to sink."
Luke Chapter 5 8 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
8. Depart, &c.--Did Peter then wish Christ to leave him? Verily no. His all was wrapt up in Him
(Joh 6:68).
"It was rather, Woe is me, Lord! How shall I abide this blaze of glory? A sinner such as I am is not fit company for Thee." (Compare
Isa 6:5.)
Luke Chapter 5 10 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
10. Simon, fear not--This shows how the Lord read Peter's speech. The more highly they deemed Him, ever the more grateful it was to the Redeemer's spirit. Never did they pain Him by manifesting too lofty conceptions of Him.
from henceforth--marking a new stage of their connection with Christ. The last was simply, "I will make you fishers."
fishers of men--"What wilt thou think, Simon, overwhelmed by this draught of fishes, when I shall bring to thy net what will beggar all this glory?" (See on
Mt 4:18.)
Luke Chapter 5 11 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
11. forsook all--They did this before
(Mt 4:20);
now they do it again; and yet after the Crucifixion they are at their boats once more
(Joh 21:3).
In such a business this is easily conceivable. After pentecost, however, they appear to have finally abandoned their secular calling.
Lu 5:1-11.
MIRACULOUS DRAUGHT OF FISHES--CALL OF PETER, JAMES, AND JOHN.
Not their first call, however, recorded in
Joh 1:35-42;
nor their second, recorded in
Mt 4:18-22;
but their third and last before their appointment to the apostleship. That these calls were all distinct and progressive, seems quite plain. (Similar stages are observable in other eminent servants of Christ.)
